I take it these have actually gone to whql status. As the creative betas usually have a time out period.I'm not going to install these unless i know.

I'm gonna give them a go as i'm still using the drivers off the cd, I'll post if they're whql or not.

My original unedited news post had details all about the fact that they are indeed WHQL'd. They are based on the betas that I've been using for a good few weeks but so far seem more stable.

Oh yeah, from what I know the Vista Beta 2 drivers should be out "soon" according to a Creative rep in their forums.
